LIFE is not a race to the grave with the intention of arriving safelyin a pretty and well-preserved body, but, rather to skid in broadside,thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming--WOW! WHAT ARIDE!!!

from awhile back. Sadly this is a list of mostly people that have died, but there are some notable folks that are living like Olympic diver Greg Louganis. and Skater Rudy Galindo One that shocked me was Isaac Asimov. Somehow that went under my radar.

Ya well thats Wikipedia for ya. .......I dont know.....seems a good list to me although far from complete....some names out of the past!!! Wow it was quite a read. I saw Michael Callen perform. He was a great singer and AIDS activist. My former partner Paul who died in 1995 was President of the Philadelphia Gay Mens Chorus and then President of the Spruce Street Singers.....I forget where I saw Michael perform but it was at a concert. He had formed a group of singers and they performed at a concert.Modified to add: I Noted: Larry Kramer is ALIVE....he is like the energizer bunny...keeps on ticking.....he was the first HIV/AIDS person to recieve a major organ transplant ( was it heart and liver?)

i would rather know that real people live fulfilling lives with hiv. public figures don't really have to work too hard to deal with this disease. they have all the money and adulating groupies anyone could need. what misery they derive from public life doesn't really stir my sympathies.

however, i really would derkve no small amount of schadenfreude should ted stevens turn up poz, but that's just me.

By the way - a friend of mine knew him back in the day and said that he was a MEAN fag - vicious and hateful.

Wow, really? What a bummer. Hey, back away from my card mister or you will be singing soprano and I don't mean the show! Hey I would've never known Sulu from Star Trek was gay if he didn't come out and he hid it for over 30 yrs.
